Stupid Odin

"Dang, dang, dang!"

The alarm bells rang loudly—

In the world of Jötunheimr, all eleven minor worlds echoed with the long-silent alarm.

In every minor world, every priest received an incomparably clear divine decree.

Some priests awoke in shock from their sleep, others transitioned from standing dreams, and upon waking, they all proclaimed with clear articulation: "By the supreme edict of the God-King Downs Paulsen—the world of Jötunheimr is about to be attacked by the world of the Aztecs.

All military and civilians enter level-one combat readiness."

As early as the initial contact with the Egyptian world, Downs had already issued a level-two combat readiness order; now, it was adjusted to level one.

From gods to divine servants, to beasts under the jurisdiction of Asgard, and finally to mortals, without exception, everyone was on high alert.

Thanks to the enlightenment campaigns Downs had been carrying out for half a world, most beings were already aware of the outside world; the great war with the Sumerian world nearly 20 years ago felt like it had happened just yesterday.

Although most mortals had not witnessed the grand divine war firsthand, everyone could see the large continent that had appeared in the lower levels of Jötunheimr.

Moreover, in recent years, Downs had allowed the opening of some Rainbow Bridge passages for trade and communication between mortals in the middle and lower worlds, allowing everyone to truly feel the cruelty of world wars.

Win and you dine.

Lose and you become a dish.

Fortunately, Downs had issued a strict order for a policy of assimilation towards outsiders.

Those who disobeyed were killed, and those who obeyed could become free citizens after serving enough time; to advance further, they had to perform meritorious service in wars against the outside world.

Now, hearing that war was imminent, it was quite amusing that the Sumerians were the most eager for war.

For them, Downs was not an invader but a liberator. His Great Majesty the God-King had freed them from the clutches of the tyrannical wind god Enlil.

Their enthusiasm for war was the highest; in terms of fanaticism, they were second only to the Midgardians.

"For His Majesty the God-King! Kill all those Aztec bastards!"

"The freedom His Majesty has bestowed upon us! Don't you trash think you can take it away—"

By this time, the entire mortal population of Jötunheimr had a complete mobilization system.

In addition to the carefully selected professional soldiers, every healthy adult male had to receive no less than two months of military training every year during the agricultural off-season. Those with excellent results would be incorporated into the reserves and enjoy higher benefits, such as exemption from a portion of the 【God Tax】 paid to Asgard.

This tiered design not only ensured the professionalism of the soldiers but also avoided burdening the mortal kingdoms.

However, this policy was only implemented in Celtic and previous territories; it had not yet been extended to the former Sumer. Again, the Sumerians had not yet proven their loyalty to Asgard in foreign wars and had not been fully integrated into Jötunheimr's combat system.

As for the newly joined Akkadians, a different strategy was used.

The moon god Nanna and other descended gods projected the sacrificial rituals that Loki had spied on in the Aztec world as mirages in the skies above major cities.

Even those masterless priests who had lost their gods ran to the streets.

"Look! These are the Aztecs who drove Slavic slaves to attack us in the past! They are so brutal and inhumane, it's outrageous!"

"By surrendering to the Aesir, we can still live with dignity. Falling into the hands of the Aztec gods would be the end."

"We will be humiliated without end, for their amusement. Those who fail will be cruelly sacrificed."

Originally, the Akkadians did not have much resonance with a group of black and Slavic people's blood sacrifice rituals. As Loki sent the mental fragments of the new round of sacrificial rituals, some Akkadians finally discovered the truth.

"God! That's my uncle; he was taken away back then."

Akkadians kept discovering their relatives were still serving as slaves in the opposite world; they cried and shouted, and naturally, the anger in their hearts was ignited.

Indeed, most of the time, anger is the strongest and most enduring emotion of human beings.

The Aesir's invasion of the Akkadian world did not involve slaughtering among mortals because the strong men under Downs had simply and neatly resolved all the high-end combat power of Akkad, so mortals hardly had any real feelings about the change of the divine realm's dominance.

Especially after the new gods easily subdued those priests who should have been the most loyal, the Akkadians could not talk about any direct hatred towards the Aesir.

On the contrary, the Aztecs, who had carried out slaughter and plunder here, easily attracted all their anger.

In this way, with the Aztecs as a common target, the Akkadians were completely mobilized.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ read ⊥ book ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Taking advantage of this momentum, a large number of divine servants from Asgard, with their subordinates, sent refined iron weapons from Svartalfheim.

Standing in front of these brand-new piles of sharp weapons, the Valkyries spoke out extremely inflammatory slogans.

"Pick up the gifts of His Majesty the God-King Paulsen, use sharp blades, and go to the Aztecs to bring back your compatriots, your relatives—"

The anger of the people turned into a shocking roar.

They raised their weapons and shouted in unison:

"Long live His Majesty Paulsen!"

"Kill all the Aztecs!"

"Avenge our compatriots!"

The influence of the Akkadians' excitement, falling into the eyes of the guardian god Heimdall, also fell through the mental projection above the hall of the Silver Palace.

Seeing this scene, all the gods were secretly sighing at the sharpness of their own god-king's methods.

To put it bluntly, the original attack on the Akkadian world was just a naked conquest without any morality. No matter how the victors let the unscrupulous historians put gold on their faces, they could not hide the cruel plunder behind this war.

Regarding this battle, Arthur, the god of chivalry with extremely high moral standards, originally had quite a few criticisms in his heart. Only after seeing the tyranny of the Sumerian god-king Enlil and having a comparison, he did not oppose this war.

Who would have thought that there is always someone better. (idiom for there's always someone better than you)

Enlil, who had destroyed the human world three times, was certainly indifferent and cruel, but those Aztec gods who did not treat people as human beings and sacrificed them at will were even more outrageous. They performed with their strength the existence at the peak of power, how arbitrarily they could act.

Arthur suddenly deeply felt the greatness and self-discipline of his own god-king, and thought to himself: It turns out that my lord is already the most humane one among so many god-kings!

In any case, just before the two major worlds began to engage, the mortals of the entire Jötunheimr world completed the war mobilization.
